Gao Baosheng and his party came to Juliu Village and saw piles of wood piled at the door of every house here.

Most of these woods are large trees that have not peeled off, and are basically more than one meter in diameter. They are the best wood for doors and windows. There are also some finer woods that are used to make beams and support beams for rural mud houses. .

Gao Baosheng asked about those beautiful pine trees with a diameter of about ten centimeters and used for waterproofing and tiles on roofs. Each piece only cost a few yuan, which in later generations would have cost at least two hundred yuan.

"This log is really big. I have never seen such a thick pine tree!" Shen Ruobing came to the door of a house and couldn't help but said when he saw a thick red pine tree with a diameter of more than one meter and three meters.

"Are you guys going to buy wood for doors and windows? Look, my red pine wood is one year old and the moisture has gone! You can use it directly after buying it." The landlady stepped forward to introduce them to Gao Guoliang. Made of wood, Gao Guoliang looks like a father who desperately wants to build a house for his son and find a wife. The look of Gao Baosheng and Shen Ruobing makes anyone who sees them know that they are in a relationship.

"How do you sell this wood?" Gao Baosheng was the first to ask.

"My wood is 22.41 square meters in total, 160 yuan per square, totaling 3,585 yuan." said the proprietress.

It is not easy to transport such a large piece of wood from the Northeast. Gao Baosheng remembers that he went to the wood market in Chengdu before he was reborn. A piece of red pine wood cost 3,200 yuan. In later generations, this piece of wood would cost more than 60,000 yuan.

"Dad! How much wood do we need?" Gao Baosheng turned to look at Gao Guoliang.

"Our two yards combined can't use so much, 18 square meters is enough." Gao Guoliang said.

"Let's not use this wood to make some tables, chairs, plates, etc. This redwood will definitely look good." Gao Baosheng looked at this huge red pine, how could he not like it in his heart? Although he was considered middle class in his previous life, he wanted to buy one. I bought a set of authentic handmade mahogany furniture, but in the end I was beaten down by the price.

"How can these tables and chairs be made of such good wood? You can use it to make a table, but the chairs are difficult to lift. Just use ordinary wood." Gao Guoliang said.

"Madam boss, can you get this wood cheap? I am here to buy the wood sincerely today!" Gao Baosheng said.

"This young man wants to marry his aunt! Okay, I'll give you 3,500 yuan for this big wood. The profit from the wood is not high.

I don’t know where you bought the wood to make furniture. We have the best carpenters in our village. If you put the wood here, we can give you a discount of 50 yuan!" said the landlady.

"No, let's take a look around, we have carpenters!" Gao Guoliang said and was about to leave.

Gao Guoliang has been building houses for 20 years and knows a lot of carpenters. He also plans to ask his former carpenters to do the carpentry work. He knows that if the wood is given to these people, the scrapped wood will definitely be much higher than what he can make. Not to mention making more tables and chairs, it is normal to make a few more cabinets for such a big job. Red pine wood is inherently expensive, and Gao Guoliang was reluctant to let others do it.

I made a lot of money in the village, where they sell red pine wood and even better wood. But in the end, I repeatedly asked about the prices for comparison, and the red pine wood from the first store was a little cheaper. Because I can buy such a large piece of wood at one time in Yuyang County.

There are indeed very few people there, enough to make doors and windows for thirty houses.

Gao Baosheng finally negotiated a price of 3,350 yuan with the other party and gave a deposit of 1,000 yuan, so the lumber was settled.

In addition, the large beams of catalpa wood used to build the house cost more than 30 pieces in total, totaling 620 yuan. The fine red pine wood needed for the roof only costs 3 yuan and 60 cents. Many of the roofs in the two courtyards are made of cement and only 230 pieces are needed.

Baosheng paid 868 yuan to load the fine red pine wood into the carriage.

"Baosheng, even if we have two yards, we can't use so much red pine wood for all the doors and windows. The longer the wood is stored, the more it will be damaged by insects, and the less valuable it will be!" Gao Guoliang couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Gao Baosheng paying the money.

.

"Let's make the rest into furniture as much as possible! You need to hire a carpenter anyway. Making a few more sets of furniture will increase the value if you put it at home. In the future, our country will become richer and richer, and people's living conditions will get better. The country requires environmental protection.

It’s getting taller and taller, and this kind of red pine wood is not so easy to buy,” Gao Baosheng said.

Gao Guoliang nodded when he heard this. He also agreed with his son. Prices have been rising in recent years, especially wood.

"Well, tomorrow I will discuss with some carpenters how to cut this wood. We can transport the wood back as soon as possible and then we can do the carpentry work first. It will take at least four carpenters a month to do this much red pine wood." Gao

Guoliang said.

"Please invite as many as you can. Leave all the wood at my third uncle's house and let the carpenters work at my third uncle's house.

Tomorrow I will buy the cement, steel, sand, and stones step by step and put them at my second uncle's house. When we get the money from the village the day after tomorrow, we will buy bricks and start construction. It's best to hire more people by then.

." Gao Baosheng said.

"According to your idea, Baosheng, it will be basically completed in two and a half months, and five major construction projects will be needed. I think since so much money has been spent, I will invite two more major construction projects from the county to cover the building.

I know that there are two craftsmen in Zhangwang Village in the south of the county who are very good at craftsmanship. Many units in the county turn to them to build buildings. I will ask them tomorrow if they have time, but it may cost 15 yuan a day to hire one of them. Come to us

A month's worth of preliminary work for two people would cost about a thousand yuan," Gao Guoliang said.

"We transport all the maintenance materials ourselves. Except for bricks and steel bars, we don't spend much money on anything else. The money should be enough.

Our family will officially start construction from the day after tomorrow. When I go back tomorrow, I will buy all the food for the workers for a month. Dad, please tell the people in the village about our building a house and ask the workers to stay in their house for a while.

At that time, each family will send ten pounds of pork." Gao Baosheng said.

In rural areas of northern Shaanxi, especially in remote villages like Gaojiawan, it is common to only hire one or two big workers to build a house, and then the whole village will help, so that the cost of building a house can be reduced to a minimum.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This time Baosheng's family will hire four carpenters. The big carpenters will need five according to Gao Guoliang's idea. If the small carpenters can't do it well, they will have to go to the neighboring village to hire them.

It's just that the wages of small-time workers are cheap, only 8 yuan a day, and a large number of people are rushing to come. These 9 big workers cost 100 yuan a day, which is 3,000 yuan a month.

This family mobilized the whole village to build a house. Gao Baosheng could imagine that there might be more than one person from each family coming. He would feed the workers white flour and rice. Even more people from the whole village came, and the whole village would eat two meals at their house.

The month is also possible.

When the car returned to Gaojiawan, Gao Baosheng moved all the tools on the carriage to his second uncle's house, and then sent the wood to his third uncle's house. In the evening, everyone had dinner at Gao Baosheng's house, and everyone talked about building a house and giving money to Gao Guoming.

Talking about my mother-in-law, since the work will start the next day, they will all get involved.

"We spent 4,818 yuan on wood, 4,600 yuan on bricks, 540 yuan on cement and steel bars, and 1,300 yuan on sand, gravel, tiles, and ceramic tiles. This is already 10,000 yuan. Including labor costs, it will definitely exceed our original budget.

Gao Guoliang looked at Gao Baosheng and said.

Gao Guoliang's original budget was just right, but today he spent nearly 5,000 yuan on wood alone, leaving a gap of nearly 3,000 yuan in funds this time.

"Buying wood this time is not within the budget, and I am also responsible for buying food for the family. The extra money at home will be used to hire workers. We have to do a good job," Gao Baosheng said.

"According to your method of spending money, we won't have to spend 20,000 yuan to build this house? This house will be yours from now on, and you will earn the money. You can do whatever you want.

I'll go find a carpenter tomorrow, and the carpenter's wages will be calculated starting from tomorrow. When the house is built, we can go straight to the doors and windows as much as possible. The big job will be done in two months, and your three uncles and I will do the rest slowly.

It can be done," Gao Guoliang said.

Gao Guoliang assigned work to his three younger brothers. It was difficult for Baosheng and Yi Gong to help with such a major matter as building a house at home. Gao Guoming's main task was to be responsible for materials, and Gao Guozhong's role was to be responsible for workers' accommodation and help in the village.

He also made arrangements for the personnel and delivered the pork.

Gao Guoyao is responsible for the carpentry work and the construction of the courtyard wall, and Gao Guoliang is responsible for all work including the use of funds. Baosheng's mother and two aunts are responsible for cooking.

In the evening, Gao Baosheng sent Shen Ruobing back to school. He went to Green Sea Lake to plant aquatic plants again. In the past few days, some small hornworts had floated up from the bottom of the lake. Those were the hornworts that could not take root and die in the lake. Gao Baosheng

After looking at the amount in the large space pool, he directly released ten tons of space water into Green Sea Lake.

I saw the originally small wild fish in Green Sea Lake actively jumping on the water surface. All the fish slowly swam in this direction. The space water was very attractive to them, and this time Baosheng gave Green Sea Lake some space.

Water can ensure the rapid growth of new aquatic plants for a period of time, and can also improve the vitality of fish in the lake, promote their digestion and absorption capabilities, and allow them to maintain rapid growth in a short period of time.

Regarding the promoting effect of space water on fish, Baosheng has already reached certain conclusions through experiments in small space ponds. However, how long can these ten tons of space water keep plants growing in such a large area of ​​Green Sea Lake? Baosheng still needs to

I will gradually experiment and summarize later.

When he returned home, Baosheng saw that his father was still calculating the materials and costs of building a house. Rural people must spend every penny wisely when building a house.

Gao Baosheng returned to his cave dwelling and entered the space. He saw that the water in the space was still increasing rapidly today. If this speed could be maintained, it would take less than two months for the water in the large and small pools to be linked together. Sooner or later, the water in the pools would be

Get full.

After looking at the growth of the fish in the small pond, Baosheng caught hundreds of fish that jumped out of the lake tonight. Compared with the three fish that entered the space before, these fish were more than half smaller, mainly because of the body length ratio.

In the original space, the fish were much shorter, but the water in this space seemed to only make the fish longer.

After feeding cornmeal to the fish in the small pond for a while, Gao Baosheng was not afraid of feeding too much. The water in this space originally had the effect of promoting digestion. It would be strange for the fish to grow in the water in space and be able to survive.

The fruit on the [Power Fruit Tree] has grown a little bigger, but it still looks dark green now. I don’t know how long it will take before it matures. Today, the [Power Fruit Tree] absorbed more than three tons of space water. Gao Baosheng watched as it continued to grow.

[Power Fruit Tree], I don’t know whether the tree absorbed the space water energy, or the fruit absorbed it.

After working in the space for more than an hour, Gao Baosheng was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He drank a bottle of space water. Gao Baosheng had almost digested the dinner he had at night. He took out a pig knuckle from the space and gnawed it. He felt a little tired.

Just drink some more space water, and after eating the bones, throw them into space and quickly disappear without a trace.

Early the next morning, Gao Baosheng got up and took a shower. There were four more big pine trees in the space. All four pine trees must be transplanted before building a house. Today, he could not bring helpers and had to deliver saplings to each village alone.

.

"Baosheng, this is our plan to build a house. I made a plan last night. We will build the courtyard wall and gatehouse together with your fourth uncle's cave house first. This will take the least time.

As for the materials, the bricks must come in on the 28th the day after tomorrow, and the cement and sand must come in on the 30th at the latest. I will ask the carpenter to come in today, and we will go to the county to split the wood together. This will take about three days." Gao Guoliang.

He looked at Baosheng while eating in the morning and said.

"I don't know anything about building a house. Dad, just watch and do it. The carpenters have to go to the county to wait for the wood, so you can find them a house in the guest house, and then give them three yuan as a food subsidy every day." Gao Baosheng said.

"I don't have the money like you. I'll take care of the carpenter's work. In three days, you have to bring the carpenter back as soon as possible before he can start working. In the past few days, you have been busy delivering saplings. This matter is almost finished.

, don’t make mistakes in the end." Gao Guoliang said.

"Well, I know! I still have four big pine trees that I bought. I will send them all back to plant them today. I will start buying materials after I withdraw the money tomorrow, so I won't delay the construction period of the house." Gao Baosheng said.

The house was very busy for two consecutive days. Things in Baosheng's yard began to be cleaned up, and all the fences were removed. Baosheng's car could be driven directly into the yard. Gao Guoliang borrowed two dogs and tied them next to the car. In the evening, he finally

You can go back to the cave to sleep.

Baosheng's house will be expropriated, and after the work starts, he will go to live with Gao Yigong at night, and grandma will also go to the second uncle's house to live with the two children. When Baosheng comes back, he may have to live in a new house.

He didn't have any personal belongings at home, so he left them all to his father. On this day, he finally delivered all the saplings in Mengjiawan Township. Gao Baosheng drove to the township government. He waited for more than an hour before he saw Deputy Township Mayor Li.

Come out of the office upstairs.

"Baosheng is here? In the past few days, the township has sent people to check the situation of sand control and tree planting in our township this year. The results are very gratifying! Today, our sand control area and tree planting area are the highest in decades. In a few days, the market will

Leaders from the county will come to inspect, and the county attaches great importance to this.

This is all due to you, Baosheng! The villages in our township are indeed much more enthusiastic about sand prevention and tree planting this year than before, and the leaders of the township are also very sure of your ability." When Deputy Township Chief Li saw Gao Baosheng coming over, he became official again.

Woke up.
